Instructions

Step 1

Drizzle your frying pan with a bit of extra virgin olive oil - lightly coat the bread and asparagus in the oil from the pan. Cook over a medium high heat until desired colour on toast is achieved and the asparagus is tender and starting to char. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper if you desire.

Step 2

While the toast and asparagus are cooking, slice the preserved lemon (taking care to remove all seeds) and chop the pistachios.

Step 3

When they’re finished cooking, slice the asparagus spears lengthways.

Step 4

Top the grilled toast with the burrata cheese, asparagus and preserved lemon slices. Sprinkle with pistachios, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and finish with a bit of flaky sea salt and lemon zest. Enjoy!
